β€œI chose Poole because I was able to start taking business classes as soon as I walked in the doors my freshman year and discover my academic interests early. I could also tell that the professors and advisors within Poole were dedicated to my growth and provided unique opportunities tailored to myself. Finally, I have been able to take advantage of the Poole-specific career and global services over my four years to make the most of my college experience.”
